貝多芬: 鋼琴變奏曲第二集 / 塞德利克．提貝岡 鋼琴 (2CD)

作曲家: Beethoven-Sweelinck - Bach - Cage - Feldman - Crumb
演出者: Cedric Tiberghien (piano) 

在約束中的自由: 讚美變奏曲
在出版了難以應付的第一集之後, 鋼琴家塞德利克.提貝岡繼續他探索貝多芬的變奏曲. 在此專輯的核心是聞名的32首C小調變奏曲和濃濃的巴哈回憶 - 來自小提琴獨奏組曲第二號的夏康舞曲, 在此呈現的是布拉姆斯大師級的改編版本. 他也利用這個機會向大家展示某一派的美國作曲家們(約翰.凱吉, 喬治.克倫姆, 莫頓.費德曼)對變奏曲形式傳統的貢獻.

Freedom within constraint: in praise of variation
After a formidable first volume, Cédric Tiberghien continues his exploration of Beethoven's corpus of variations. At the heart of this new album are the famous Thirty-two Variations in C minor and their tangy reminiscences of Bach – the Ciaccona from Partita no.2 for violin solo, presented here in Brahms's masterly transcription. He also takes the opportunity to show us what a certain school of American composers (Crumb, Cage, Feldman) has made of this tradition of variation form.
